D.9 Changes in MySQL Enterprise Backup 3.5.2 (2010-12-16)

This section documents changes and bug fixes that have been
applied in MySQL Enterprise Backup, version 3.5.2.

Functionality Added or Changed

A call to posix_fadvise() can be used to
reduce the flush cycle of the operating system cache and improve
backup performance. This option is set on by default.

The combined InnoDB and MyISAM backup functionality of the
innobackup command is now available on
Windows systems. The former Perl script is rewritten in C/C++ as
the mysqlbackup command. This release
continues to include the innobackup command,
which may be deprecated by the next release. There are also some
changes to the syntax as specified in the manual.

Backup history and progress information is logged to the
mysql.backup_history and
mysql.backup_progress tables, so that it can
be used by the MySQL Enterprise Monitor product and other tools
to easily monitor backup operations. For the details of the
backup history table, see Chapter 9, Troubleshooting for MySQL Enterprise Backup.

Bugs Fixed

The apply-log step for an incremental backup would fail if the
innodb_log_group_home_dir and
datadir values specified in the configuration
file were not the same.
(Bug #57375)

The file ibbackup_binlog_info in the backup
directory is now updated when an incremental backup is applied,
to reflect the updated binlog
position and LSN of the full
backup.
(Bug #57286)
